Table 13-3: Ethernet Groups Table Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
'Index' (Read-only) Displays the index number for the table row.
'Name'
group
[EtherGroupTable_
Group]
(Read-only) Displays the Ethernet Group number.
'Mode'
mode
[EtherGroupTable_
Mode]
Defines the mode of operation of the ports in the Ethernet Group. This
applies only to Ethernet Groups containing two ports.
■ [2] 1RX/1TX = (Default) At any given time, only one of the ports in
the Ethernet Group transmits and receives packets. If a link exists
on both ports, the active one is either the first to have a link up or the
lower-numbered port if both have the same link up from start.
■ [3] 2RX/1TX = Both ports in the Ethernet Group can receive
packets, but only one port can transmit. The transmitting port is
determined arbitrarily by the device. If the selected port fails at a
later stage, a switchover to the redundant port is done, which begins
to transmit and receive.
■ [4] 2RX/2TX = Both ports in the Ethernet Group can receive and
transmit packets. This option is applicable only to the Maintenance
interface for High Availability (HA) deployments. For more
information, see
Network Topology Types and Rx/Tx Ethernet Port
Group Settings .
■ [5] Single = Select this option if the Ethernet Group contains only
one port.
■ [6] None = Select this option to remove all ports from the Ethernet
Group.
Note: When implementing High Availability, it is recommended to use
the 2RX/1TX option for the Maintenance interface. For more information,
see Initial HA Configuration .
'Member 1'
member1
[EtherGroupTable_
Member1]
Assigns the first port to the Ethernet Group. To assign no port, set this
field to
None .
Note: Before you can re-assign a port to a different Ethernet Group, you
must first remove the port from its current Ethernet Group. To remove
the port, either set this field to
None or to a different port.
'Member 2'
member2
[EtherGroupTable_
Member2]
Assigns the second port to the Ethernet Group. To assign no port, set
this field to
None .
Note: Before you can re-assign a port to a different Ethernet Group, you
must first remove the port from its current Ethernet Group. To remove
the port, either set this field to
None or to a different port.
